A wild Fermat appears (again)! It's super effective (still) against the encryption keys of some devices (printers). Such cryptography was supposed to be unbreakable - but for that software/hardware must be reliable. So a technique from 1643 works well. This flaw affects Fujifilm and Canon. Vendors know and issued firmware updates. Very nice demonstration, though I would not trust a printer with security, anyway... https://eprint.iacr.org/2023/026.pdf
@LukaszOlejnik highschool algebra isn't supposed to break cryptosystems
@djm and yet it does! also at a scale!

@LukaszOlejnik Now the question is: do the Canon printers also use that Rambus library or did they roll their own crypto? 🤔

Interesting findings, thanks for sharing!

Concerning your last statement: absolutely. My WiFi-capable printer is denied internet access. It should better stay confined to my home network.
